Some wonderful tweets about Boris Johnson's appointment.

TechnicallyRon @TechnicallyRon

Looking forward to Boris Johnson's first visit to bongo bongo land.

Angry Salmond @AngrySalmond

Boris Johnson, a man with all the geographical understanding of a toilet brush, is Britain's new Foreign Secretary.

@ChukaUmunna

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson's first official meeting with President Obama will be interesting. Suggest it starts with the word "sorry"

Warren Ellis

@warrenellis

Boris Johnson as Foreign Secretary. So this is, in fact, the year we all die.

Ricky Gervais

@rickygervais

Phew!
Just when Britain was starting to become a laughing stock around the world,
Boris Johnson is appointed foreign secretary.

Boris is currently being shown Theresa's SPECIAL BIG MAP, which gently introduces him to large world-shaped area outside of Westminster

Rosie Fletcher @rosieatlarge

How can Boris Johnson be Foreign Secretary when he can't even maintain diplomatic relations with Liverpool?

Azeem Ibrahim @AzeemIbrahim

Boris Johnson is now in charge of MI6. Let that sink in for a while...

I suppose she must know him better than us. Either that or she thought...See? You may have run away after Brexit...but I have reeled you back in....

Liam Fox is Secretary of State for I.A

I thought the same...but answered in the same way it was posted

I'm thinking that you asked that question @Beenherebefore because you have met him. I'm sure he's not the bumbling fool he sometimes makes himself out to be. He extremely shrewd, and May giving him a cabinet post has reopened the door for him to some day get the job he really wants. If she's not up to the job, or stumbles and falls from grace, there will be another leadership contest, and you can bet your boots who'll be in it.

I actually think he is probably a very shrewd and clever bloke. He needs to stop acting the clown and step up to the plate.

On another subject I do wish the media would stop linking Theresa May with Maggie Thatcher. Give her a chance.

They are only doing this due to females not normally taking high office in government posts. Politics, until just recently has been a male dominated profession. A bit like medicine. Until the early 70's most doctors were males. Females usually went into nursing.... so we could be 'handmaiden to the gods' (Doctors) Thankfully that has undergone a seismic change.

At last I am able to show I am not biased towards women...ie any woman. I really am not impressed with her. In fact I am surprised that so many of the Labour party gave a vote of no confidence to Jeremy Corbyn...and yet she is the only one challenging him for the leadership? Not sure that Angela Eagles has any sort of proven experience to take on this job?
